Am I your genie?

My client hit me with her regrets about some decision she'd made. I stopped her and said:

Imagine you’re rubbing the magic lamp and out pops your genie. I’ll be playing the genie. I say, “What do you wish my mistress/master/her/him/they?”

And you hit me with some regret. Because you are not coping well with a challenge, this is sooo bothering you, and you say in your upset tone of voice:

“I wish I never met Peter! I wish I’d never got a cat, and I regret being a parent. I wish I’d gone to study engineering instead."

I look at you, confused: “So... what do you want me to do with that?”

Regret is a wish into the past. Because you seem to have forgotten how wishing works: FORWARD, you cannot wish into the past. It makes NO SENSE.

The options lie in the present. In the “how you deal with it.” All the “I should have done it differently” = cancelled. It doesn't work. Unsubscribe! And if you want me in your life as your genie, sign up below.
